This position will suit an optometrist who values thorough, patient-focused eye care, time for longer examinations, and opportunities to develop their clinical skills within an established optical department.
This is a full-time opportunity working 10am-6:30pm.
As the Sole Optometrist in the practice, you will provide eye care to members and conduct examinations lasting more than 30 minutes, with no sales targets. You will work as part of a specialist optical department, using advanced optical equipment and applying your clinical expertise to deliver a thorough service.
The role includes flexible weekend work, with Saturday or Sunday shifts arranged on an alternating basis if required. You will have access to clinical development and support, including CPD throughout the year and an online platform to help meet your General Optical Council requirements. Further development opportunities include professional certificates in glaucoma, medical retina, pediatrics and independent prescribing.

These provisions complement the clinical development and CPD support available in the position.
You must be a qualified Optometrist registered with the General Optical Council. The role requires the clinical capability to carry out thorough eye examinations and provide dependable, patient-focused care. Confidence using advanced optical equipment and the ability to work independently as the optometrist in the practice are important.
